September 2017 Highlights

The multiple tragic national disasters over the past month (Hurricane Harvey, Irma, and Maria) have extended their destruction to the restaurant industry driving same store sales down 1.4% nationally this September.

New York City sales almost broke even (-0.2%) with restaurants with average checks under $40 continuing to underperform compared with more expensive restaurants (-3.4%).

Poor weekday sales (-2.5%) led Las Vegas to decreased sales this September as well (-1.4%).

This September marks the 12th consecutive month Washington DC same store sales have surpassed last year's monthly sales.
